Resources
Hear from our employees
What aspect(s) of your work do you find meaningful and why?
"The two most important aspects of my work are connecting with people and being a problem solver. We have so many smart and motivated team members here that it's hard to not be inspired to push yourself to new heights. Our culture makes you want to contribute and put in that work so that you feel you are making as big of an impact as you can. Everyone here plays a part in CME Group’s success. It takes many smart and talented colleagues to achieve everything that we have in our storied history."
Michael, Regulatory IT, Americas
In what ways does your work allow you to connect with other smart and talented colleagues?
"There are many ways to connect. There are structured programs like the coaching circles and Employee Resource Group events. There is also more spontaneous bonding over lunchtime banter which is my personal favorite. During some lunches, the Pricing team has discussed the latest breakthrough in quantum mechanics and speculated on the longevity of celebrity relationships. It's nice to be able to balance being laser focused on work with having a little fun."
Lalitha, Software Engineering, Americas
What does CME Group’s commitment to learning and development look like?
"CME Group offers an excellent educational assistance program. As a Masters in Computer Science myself, I recognize the opportunities this opens up and have encouraged several members of my team to pursue their post graduate aspirations with CME Group’s financial support."
Vignesh, Software Engineering, Americas
What does work-life balance look like for you at CME Group?
"Work-life balance is excellent here. The flexible work model that CME Group implemented following the pandemic that balances working from home with being in the office is something that I really like and value. I know from speaking to my colleagues that this approach is very much embraced across our locations globally. "
Luke, Operational Readiness & Resilience, EMEA
What motivates you to stay at CME Group?
"What has kept me engaged and motivated during my tenure at CME Group is the many opportunities I’ve been given to be part of multiple projects. Each one of these projects has brought me closer to other colleagues across the company, taught me valuable lessons and helped me gain new skills and experiences."
Arvind, Platform Engineering - Cloud & Data Experience, APAC
What does work-life balance look like for you at CME Group?
"I had previous roles in other companies where I experienced burnout and the push to work continuously over long days. My experience at CME Group has been vastly different. I am encouraged to try and make my day fit within the boundaries of my timezone. The 'work smarter, not harder' philosophy is really practiced here."
Zoe Bell, Site Reliability Engineering & Operations, EMEA
